Lead Web UI/UX

at  DC BLOX LLC

We are seeking a trailblazing and visionary Lead Web Graphics Designer with a strong User Experience (UX) background to lead the design and functionality across multiple web-based platforms. This is not your typical design role. We’re looking for someone who thinks outside the box, challenges the status quo, and constantly pushes boundaries to innovate and create world-class user experiences. As a pioneer and thought leader, you’ll be responsible for guiding the design and user experience of our digital products from concept to execution, always questioning “Why?” and advocating for creative solutions that break new ground.
You will directly report to the Director of Software Development, working closely with them to align your creative designs with the product’s functional needs. If you’re a self-motivated designer who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and is eager to drive bold, innovative change, this is the role for you.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Creative Visionary: You are not just another designer who follows trends — you set them. You have a unique design perspective that challenges norms and brings bold, fresh ideas to the table.
• UX Expertise: You have a deep understanding of UX principles, human-centered design, and information architecture. You think beyond visuals, considering how users interact with and experience products at every stage.
• Proven Design Experience: A strong portfolio that showcases your ability to create visually compelling designs and engaging user experiences for complex web platforms, not just standalone websites.
• Innovation Mindset: You are always looking for new and better ways to solve problems. You question everything, strive for originality, and push for breakthrough design solutions. “Why?” is your mantra, and you’re not afraid to reimagine existing concepts.
• Collaboration & Communication Skills: You are an effective communicator who can articulate design decisions and concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working directly with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless execution of your designs.
• Ownership & Accountability: You are a self-starter who thrives under minimal supervision, taking ownership of projects and leading them from start to finish. You’ll be responsible for guiding design solutions independently, reporting directly to the Director of Software Development.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

• 5+ years of experience in web design with a strong emphasis on user experience (UX).
• A proven track record of leading design projects from concept to completion for complex, multi-platform web applications.
• Expertise in design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, XD), Sketch, Figma, or similar.
• Strong knowledge of front-end web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and how they influence design decisions.
• Experience conducting user research, creating personas, wireframing, prototyping, and testing.
• An innovative approach to problem-solving with the ability to translate complex requirements into simple, elegant solutions.
• Strong portfolio showcasing a variety of web design and UX/UI projects, with a focus on creativity and user-centered design.

BONUS SKILLS (NICE TO HAVE):

• Experience in motion design or interactive web experiences.
• Familiarity with web accessibility standards and best practices.
• Knowledge of design systems and how to create and maintain them across multiple platforms.
• Experience with Agile or Scrum methodologies in a design capacity.

WHY WORK WITH US?

• Creative Freedom: We want someone who’s ready to break away from the usual. Bring your ideas to life in an environment where your creativity is valued and your voice matters.
• Impact: Your work will directly shape the user experience of key web platforms used by a diverse range of audiences. You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact.
• Growth Opportunity: While this is a 6-month contract, we’re looking for a long-term relationship. Exceptional performance could lead to an ongoing B2B partnership, giving you the chance to shape the design future of multiple products.
  Supportive Environment: Work directly with the Director of Software Development in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your contributions will be integral to the success of the platforms.
